“I felt as a team we did good,” Boarman said. “We got out in front early and felt we wanted it today.”

Boarman went the distance in the circle for the Warriors, allowing just six hits, no walks and fanning three batters.

Brittany Perdigao led a 16-hit attack for C-C with four hits, three runs scored and four RBI. Kristen Caporelli chipped in with three hits, scored two runs and had an RBI. Courtney Gouveia (two RBI), Korie McDonald and Kylie Austin each finished with a pair of hits.

“I thought it was good execution on the part of our offense there,” Warriors head coach Russell Hunt said. “They did what they were supposed to do to and move the runners around.”

In two playoffs games thus far, C-C has averaged 13 runs a game

The Warriors uncharacteristically committed five errors in the contest but Boarman beared down every time there were runners on base.

“We pick each other up and that’s the good thing about our defense,” Boarman said. “We have good infield, outfield and hitters. It was good game.”

C-C got off to flying start, scoring four runs in its first at bats to take an early 4-0 lead.

Gouveia and Stephanie Skiba got things rolling for the Warriors with bunt hits. Caporelli then drove in Gouveia for the first run with single to right. Brooke Gubala walked to load the bases and Perdigao singled in Skiba to make score 2-0. A fielder’s choice plated the third run of the game and Sarah Milot drove home Gubala with the fourth run.

C-C tacked on six more runs in the second inning off of Sachem starter Jackie Kielty to go up10-0. Perdigao added an RBI and Austin contributed a two-run single in the inning.

“She needed a little bit of cushion to get going,” Hunt said. “It does not matter if it is a couple of runs or what we got today. A little bit of cushion out there then you’re always going to play relax. Middleboro is good little team.”

Milot made the defensive web gem of the game for the Warriors with a sliding catch in left field to rob Sachem leadoff hitter Hannah Johnson of an extra base hit in the third inning.

“Sarah (Milot) made a diving catch out there and these little things contribute,” Hunt said.

Middleboro (15-7) had a runner on in each inning but failed to break through Boarman. The Sachems best chance for a big inning was in the fourth when they loaded the bases with no one out on several errors. But Boarman and C-C escaped without any further damage.

The Warriors scored a run in the sixth and four more in the seventh to put to rest any thoughts of a comeback by Middleboro.

Perdigao’s two-run triple was the big hit in the seventh inning for C-C.

“Everything worked out for us,” Hunt said. “Hopefully we are on our best game tomorrow to compete with Abington.”
